we interrupt these LOLs . . .

[lolmac]

. . . for a brief announcement:

I posted on Sunday about the writing contest I had entered, a prompt-challenge in John Scalzi's weekly column on science fiction movies.

The winner was announced this morning:

I WON.

Squeeeeee!!!!!

CONGRATS!

[lolmac]

Thank you!! *bounces manicly*

[technoshaman.livejournal.com]

*grins smugly* It would get some attention. Told you I did. Winning first prize? Unexpected! Heh!

(When 900 years old YOU get, form sentences in order proper YOU will not! heh!)

(Use the Grinch icon, I do. Looks like Yoda, he does. :)

WOOHOO!!!! Not that I would ever doubt your writing abilities! So, where can we read the winning entry?

[lolmac]

The first link in the post here goes to my archived LJ post from Sunday, with the prompts and my entry. The next link goes to the announcement at the current AMC column, which in turn also links to the entry. (Man, that sounds way more complicated than I think it is.)

ROFL! But is the cake a lie?

[erinm-4600.livejournal.com]

Yes. I Photoshoped the hell out of this picture :D

Congratulations! Out of 100 is not bad. Not bad at all!

[lolmac]

Thank you! Some of the other entries really were very good, too. I went all-out to hit every prompt partly because I needed the equivalent of a knockout punch!

[dieastra.livejournal.com]

Yes, covering all bases is important! Last year I had to learn that. We should write a story and using as many as possible song titles by the Wise Guys for it. The winner got a ticket for a special concert. Out of 164 songs I used 156. The rest I thought was not possible, since some were double, just old and new versions or German and English versions. So I thought one of each version would be sufficient.

Still, there was somebody who really used ALL of them and in the end I only made fifth place. I still was able to go, though, luckily the father of my friend didn't want to and so I got his ticket ;)

[lolmac]

Thank you!!!

[sid]

Didn't I saw you'd win?

*goes back to check*

Yes, I did! :-D

Awesomesauce! And I'm very jealous of your prize, since my eps of The Prisoner are all on VHS, with most of them recorded off PBS years ago. And a couple of them are missing the beginning! It's dire I tell you!

Enjoy your laurels and your DVDs!

[sid]

*say

[lolmac]

Yes, you did say!

And a full set of DVDs of "The Prisoner" is a MAJOR motivation.

Good for you! That's great, and so exciting, I'm sure!

Since Wil Wheaton's in your story, I assume you watch his blog? He has a post about his upcoming Big Bang Theory episode, including the promo. I've yet to watch that show, but I must watch it Monday night before I watch Castle.

I don't follow Wil's blog as regularly as I do Scalzi's, but I love him to death. I would never have called him a Mary Sue if he hadn't done so himself.

I want his new book!

Wabbit...YOU ROCK!
